Dante Blue

Name: Dante Blue
Brand: Colefax and Fowler
SKU: F4797-01

Dante Blue is a very dark, inky blue velvet with a smooth, softly light-absorbing pile and a discreet lustre at the edges. The colour reads almost navy-black in the swatch, giving it a refined, cocooning feel.

About this fabric

This Dante Velvet colourway is made from 100% cotton and is supplied at approximately 140cm wide, with a vertical and horizontal repeat of 0cm, so it presents as a plain velvet rather than a patterned fabric. In the swatch, the blue is heavily deepened toward midnight and navy, with only a slight sheen catching across the pile where the light hits. That dense, even surface gives the fabric a formal, luxurious character without looking glossy. The care code Q 8 < T 3 and the √CM fire code are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this deep blue velvet on an accent chair, sofa, or bench where its dark tone can add depth and contrast. It also works well for curtains in a quieter room, especially against pale walls, brass, walnut, or stone.

A rich dark blue velvet that feels elegant and cocooning on seating or curtains.

Pairs well with

Dante Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
